Verdict

Hayedo is unproven on a fast surface though hails from a yard that are very much in form at present. But FIRST QUEST has no issues and gets the vote having previously shown form on a sharp track. Thahab Ifraj had every chance when tried here last month though his jumping didn’t stand up to scrutiny when it mattered while Clearance was well held when coming to grief at Warwick on his most recent outing.
